Can you overcharge a Ring Doorbell battery?

Answered by Robert Dupre

Can you overcharge a Ring Doorbell battery? This is a common question that many Ring Doorbell users have, and the answer is no, you cannot overcharge a Ring Doorbell battery. The Ring Doorbell has built-in overcharge protection, which means that once the battery is fully charged, the charging stops automatically.

This is great news for users because it eliminates the worry of overcharging the battery and potentially damaging it. So, you can leave your Ring Doorbell battery plugged in for as long as you need without any concerns about overcharging.

However, it’s important to note that sometimes a partially-charged battery can cause incorrect battery alerts when placed back into the doorbell. This means that if you remove a partially-charged battery from your Ring Doorbell and then reinsert it, the doorbell may display a low battery alert even though the battery is not actually low. This can be a bit frustrating, but the solution is simple.

To avoid these incorrect battery alerts, it’s best to wait until the battery is fully recharged before returning it to the doorbell. This ensures that the battery is at its optimal level and will not trigger any false low battery alerts. So, patience is key when it comes to recharging your Ring Doorbell battery.

In my personal experience, I have found that waiting for the battery to fully recharge before reinserting it into the doorbell has resolved any incorrect battery alerts. It’s a small inconvenience, but it ensures that the battery is properly charged and eliminates any confusion or frustration caused by false low battery alerts.
